It should help mend your heart after I leave you. Only when you're sure you've moved on, when you're sure you're happy can you stop reading them.

Noah Reed Wants The Moon (bxb) ✔️
"I always thought I was the ocean, you know? Always reaching for things I can't have. Always crashing into people who don't want me back. The moon pulls. The ocean follows. Even when it hurts." "You don't have to, Noah. Why can't you stay? Why can't the ocean stay with the shore?" *** Noah Reed has spent years trying to outrun the boy he used to be- the one who froze under his father's fists, the one who kissed a stranger under the stars and watched him disappear. When Noah and his mother escape their violent home and move to Novacrest, he's prepared to rebuild quietly: new school, new friends, a job at a café, and maybe-finally-something like peace. Milo, the sweet, steady football player who keeps showing up for him, feels like exactly that. Until Noah sees him. Eli Blake. Quarterback. Golden boy. Untouchable. And the first boy Noah ever kissed. Eli acts like he doesn't remember him at all. But his eyes say something else-fear, anger, longing, something sharp enough to cut. Thrown together for a biology project, their old summer-camp secret forces its way back, tearing open every wound Noah has tried to bury. And just when Noah's heart begins leaning toward Milo, Eli breaks through his defenses... and kisses him again. Now the past is unraveling, the truth is clawing its way out, and Noah has to choose between the boy who makes him feel safe and the boy who makes him feel seen. Because oceans don't choose what pulls them. But Noah has to- before he breaks apart for good. Book One in the Ocean & Moon series.Complete

Notes of the Heart
Notes of the Heart is a tender, slow-burning tale of love, ambition, and the lessons no textbook can teach. Hazel Leigh was focused on her goals, determined to reclaim the best version of herself until Damien walked in like a quiet storm, all soft eyes and unexpected charm. What started as casual conversations and hallway glances soon turned into something deeper... something she wasn't sure how to name. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" she asked one afternoon. "Because," he said simply, "I can't help it." Between whispered secrets and rainy morning memories, Hazel begins to realize that love can be both a comfort and a test. But the deeper she falls, the more the lines between right and real begin to blur. "Do you ever think about what happens if we're just... not meant to be?" she asked. He smiled faintly. "Then I'll still be glad I met you." In a world of changing friendships, buried truths, and growing dreams, Hazel must decide: can she hold on to her heart and still chase who she wants to become? Because sometimes the sweetest beginnings hold the sharpest turns. And not all stories go the way we expect some rewrite us along the way. When the heart writes its own story... will she like the ending? "This semester, love isn't the only thing on the syllabus." New chapters. New feelings. New heartbreak.
